Fuel filter 32/912001A Perkins, genuine

For the Perkins-engined JCB machines: fuel filter 32/912001A, a genuine JCB part.

The fuel filter traps particles in diesel fuel, protecting the injection pump and injectors. The fuel systems of modern diesels work to very fine tolerances, and even a particle of a few microns that passes the filter can wear pump plungers and injector nozzles. A clogged filter makes the engine lose power under load, run roughly or stop. The filter is changed at the interval the engine maker specifies and after any doubtful fuelling. The filter comes new.

Specifications

Compatibility

According to sources, 32/912001A (32/912001) is a spin-on fuel filter with a water drain tap for Perkins 1004-4T and 1000 series engines, used on JCB JS130, JS145W, JS160W, JS175W and JS200W excavators, 2CX and 3CX backhoe loaders and 407-411 loaders. The catalogue also has the aftermarket version of this part. Other parts are in Genuine JCB filters.

Fitting

Before the change, stop the engine and clean around the filter. Remove the old filter and wipe the seal face of the filter head. Lightly lubricate the new filter's seal with clean fuel, screw the filter on by hand and, once the seal touches, tighten it by the amount the maker specifies; overtightening with a wrench crushes the seal and makes removal hard. Then bleed the fuel system with the hand primer or the method in the manual, start the engine and check for leaks. Clean hands and tools matter when changing a fuel filter, since dirt on the filter head can reach the clean side of the new filter. Do not overtighten the bleed screw on the filter head.
